As far as US cities where they should add a team, how about Seattle? If would be a natural rival for Vancouver, and Seattle is home to the first US team to win the Stanley Cup. The Seattle Metropolitans won the cup in 1917 and were in the finals two other years.

To accept Seattle would subvert my basic criterion, which is that there must be a place for kids to play pond hockey (outside, obviously) when they're growing up. That is the basis for the hockey culture that exists in the deserving cities. That being said, I could be persuaded to accept Seattle because of its longitude, for a price.
